Why of course....

I am fortunate to have my Mom living with us to help out with the kids. So when its time to run errands it goes so much quicker being able to leave the younger kids with her while their napping and Pic Pic and I go out. Yesterday we had to run a few errands including a stop to Office Max about a mile away from our home. We ran in and got our supplies and then settled into the van, I went to start it and what do you know it would not start. Nothing happened no lights nothing. I called hubby at work and he ran me through a couple of things to try and nothing. After some discussion I we agreed that I would walk home and he could come look at it when he got a chance. It's about a 40 minute commute from his work, I would probably make it home before he got to us. I checked in with my Mom and Ice Man was awake and starting to get hunger. We decided she would feed him some baby food and I would nurse him when I got home.  Luckily, I had a stroller in the car. Pic Pic informed me she was tired and I thought it would go much quicker to push her. I realized that the jogging I had been doing really paid off. It was actually a pleasant walk.

Hubby came home early to pick me up and we ventured back to the Office Max parking lot. He popped the hood and took a look at the battery connection then asked me to try and start it. And what do you know, it started right up with no hesitation. I felt rather silly and profusely told hubby that it really would not start. Needless to say he had a rather fun time teasing me that if I wanted him to come home early I could of done a better job than that. Thanks be to God that nothing was wrong with it.

Kiddie Update

I thought I would share the latest and greatest news on our home front. The kids are growing and thriving faster than I can keep up. Pic Pic has learned how to ride her bike. I can't believe how fast time goes. It seems like just yesterday she was the age of Ice Man. Dan Dan is talking up a storm. It is so cute to see some of the phrases she puts together. One of my favorites is "Mom I am talking too you!" Just image that in two year old sassy talk. Ice Man has figured out how to pull himself forward with his arms when he is laying on the floor. He still prefers rolling as his mode of transportation, he hasn't quite figured out how to crawl yet. He has such a goofy grin right now with his four teeth.  I am still trying to figure this stay at home mom thing, routines and such. Just when I think I have things figured out something gets through in the loop, usually fevers are the culprit. On the home schooling front I have decided not try and stress on it as much, I know that if I am this concerned about it, what ever choices we make will be fine.  Right know I have been using the Let Us Attend for our orthodox studies and just adapt it to meet our calendar as well as any coloring pages and stories I find regarding the feast days. I am hoping to share what we will be doing for Theophany which we will be celebrating this week. As far as preschool we have been using Letter of the Week and some of the books from Sonlight. Hubby is busy with his pastoral classes. He will be finishing up his first semester this week. I am very happy to support him on this adventure and try and do what I can to help out.
